Hey,

Has anyone had any luck installing Windows 8 Pro via bootcamp, but using USB?

For some reason or another I used to get the option to USB install in Lion, but it since vanished in ML. I managed to find a workaround for it i.e. via the Info.plist in /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant/Info.plst but that doesn't seem to work with Mavericks?

Does anyone else here have a MacBook Pro 8,2 with the same issue? The online version I bought is upwards of 5.7GB. It'd be so much easier than having to download it, muck about with DL-DVD's then get it up and running :-/

I'm not looking for rEFIt hack jobs etc.. I like to keep my mac clean and simple (after all, is that what a mac is about?)...

Ideas would be more than welcome!

Taraaaa.

Adrian
